Hovercraft unleashes stunning, magnetic artistry that is literally timeless and fiercely alive.
Hovercraft dropped a double single release that comes at you from two different directions while still landing in the same incredible place of beauty. Their touch is confident, patient, and full of intention, and what also stands out is how naturally they balance softness with a quiet, glowing intensity. “Hovercraft keeps finding new ways to make familiar feelings hit with startling force.”
“New Pine Overcoat” opens with a soft, airy guitar intro feels like hypnosis infused into music. The rhythm pulls you in with a magnetic pulse, and following that is a series of deeper downtuned notes that lay the perfect groundwork for the light-stepping percussion to arrive. It’s all crafted so precisely that it feels effortless.
Then the vocals land, and what also makes the moment striking is how unexpected it feels… almost like a doorway back in time. The almost emotionless delivery creates the opposite effect on the listener, turning restraint into power. Her soft, listless tone becomes a nonstop expression that feels close enough to touch, as if she’s only inches from us, staring straight into our hearts. When she utters:
“Forever flying so high / it’s a celebration.”
Her thrilling, deeply held notes accent each syllable with perfect intention, lifting everything into something euphoric. Then softly we hear:
“And we feel like this and we feel like that and we don’t know what we’re looking at.”
The song keeps pulling at your emotions, placing you inside your own quiet whirlwind, the kind we all ruminate in and reshape into something new, just like the song hints at. It sits in your mind long after it fades, not letting go, but in the best possible way. “Hovercraft turns simple human moments into something that feels mythic.”
Next up, “Angel” once again delivers beautiful guitars, but this time the atmosphere feels lighter, more open, more free. The vocals stun all over again, carrying a refined emotional mission that lands heavier with every line. “Angel proves Hovercraft knows exactly how to make vulnerability sound triumphant.”
There’s something about this pairing of songs that literally have come straight from the 90s, untouched by time yet sharpened by thirty years of growth. Created in the past and almost lost to the degradation of time, these tapes were salvaged, and now we are graced with their rebirth. Maybe the 90s held something special, because it seems like Hovercraft has captured that spark again, both then and now, in a way that feels newly alive. “Hovercraft bridges decades with a sound that still feels unmistakably their own.”
The production leans into a less-is-more approach. They avoided over-polishing, and instead of smoothing away the texture, they preserved every detail in a way many modern recordings forget. It feels honest, warm, and lived-in.
We think Hovercraft is a true visionary act, and bringing the past forward into the present only proves how limitless their talent is. Overall, Hovercraft leaves us stunned with this release. The performance lands with purpose, the creativity shines, and the risks they take push everything into a space that feels exciting and fresh. We highly recommend diving into “New Pine Overcoat / Angel” right now. “Hovercraft delivers the kind of release that reminds you why music matters.”
